You're willing to put your life on the line for your country, and it "seemingly" means nothing? But I have have a deep reason to feel this way that I'm gonna' have to keep to myself.
Just remember, if the enemy comes to our borders, (as they have already) you'll be supporting the "troops" you're so tired of supporting now.
It is a job they chose which they are compensated for doing (I'd argue they should probably make more though). In terms of drafted soldiers and such, yes they should be thanked and supported because they had no choice. As for our military today I respect them the same way I respect anyone in a dangerous public job (Firefighter, Police,etc.) that is simply I try not to make their job harder and treat them like normal people.
